I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror Chapter 446 - 412: Collaboration Achieved

Steel Egg: |๑ŐдŐ)b

Chang An: |｡Ծ⌂Ծ)

Xiao Yu: |๑ớ▿ờ)

So crab, so generous!

How old is this tender little loli?

She’s actually calling Jiang Xiao "Daddy?"

Almost subconsciously, Xiao Yu pulled Bai Yi behind herself, her face full of suspicion as she watched Jiang Xiao.

"Little sister, don’t be scared; although I’m just a lingering spirit, I’ll never allow such disgusting things to happen before my eyes!"

The usually laughing and joking Steel Egg also stood shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Chang An, shielding Bai Yi behind them.

"Jiang Xiao bro, no wonder, no wonder, I was thinking, how co you were so indifferent to all those maids of mine? Turned out you were into this sort of thing, bro, that’s beastly. Listen to , it’s not too late to turn yourself in now, I’ve got connections in the underworld, and they’ll definitely get you a lighter sentence."

Jiang Xiao: "?"

"She’s simply my daughter, what are you guys thinking? Piss off with your filthy thoughts and don’t taint my immaculate soul!"

"Let’s go, Xiao Bai, we’re leaving."

Hm?

Steel Egg stopped Jiang Xiao.

"What do you an go? Aren’t you going to stand with against the Mountain and Sea demons?"

Jiang Xiao: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ

"Otherwise? Are you out to make a na and win glory? What’s that got to do with ?"

With snake demons and Mountain and Sea demons around, this area sounds complicated, careless and it might cost us our lives.

"Bro, according to what you’re saying, could the demons also be connected to Dalian’s death?"

Seeing Jiang Xiao sowhat moved, Chang An imdiately played the sympathy card.

"Jiang Xiao bro, please, for the sake of the scepter and ceremonial robes I gave you! Just this once, okay?"

Watching Steel Egg crying his eyes out, with snot dripping down to his chin, Jiang Xiao finally felt a twinge of sympathy.

"Sigh, fine, just this one ti, but let’s not make a habit of it. Rember, if there’s danger or treasures..."

"I get it, I get it. If there’s danger, it’s everyone for themselves, but if there’s good stuff, it all goes to you. I’m just after a bit of fa!"

A teachable child~

"Alright then, let’s get back to where we started..."

Xiao Yu: (Originally from Hengduan Mountain, lured to Liu Town by the Mountain and Sea demons, now residing in Dalian’s body)

Dalian: (Native of Liu Town, died mysteriously, current whereabouts of her soul unknown, body occupied by Xiao Yu)

White Snake: (From the Hengduan Mountains, currently uncertain if related to the above incidents)

Mountain and Sea Demons: (Suspected masterminds)

"Out of Xiao Yu, White Snake, and the Mountain and Sea demons, we can’t investigate any of them for the ti being as they are all outsiders, so..."

Eyes—both human and nonhuman—converged on Yingzi.

"Red Dress Sister, after listening to such a long play, isn’t it ti you do sothing?"

Ah?

Under their stern interrogation (gentle persuasion),

Yingzi decisively confessed all she knew about the Song family.

Turns out it wasn’t much different from what the Song family publicly claid; they seed to be just ordinary rchants without any backing from cultivators, as the rumors had suggested.

Jiang Xiao frowned: "In that case, this Song family doesn’t seem to be a threat."

Bai Yi was instantly energized: "Then we can go wipe them out to prevent future trouble!"

Everyone: "?"

After so thought, Jiang Xiao decided to share with everyone the matter of the robed old man he had encountered earlier.

"Hey, now that you ntion it, I do rember sothing."

Yingzi looked contemplative.

"I heard—of course, don’t get wrong, this is just hearsay—that the Song family, being a large and prominent clan, had so sort of dishonorable incident involving Dalian. Supposedly, the Song family... brutally killed her, which then caused Dalian’s spirit to linger on."

Isn’t that a bit too lodramatic?

And besides, didn’t the Song family say that no one knew about Yingzi and Master Qi getting cozy in the firewood shed?

Moreover, they had just claid that they simply hadn’t fed Dalian, not that they had beaten her.

From Yingzi’s tone, it seed like in Liu Town, it was almost common knowledge.

Seeing that no one seed convinced, Yingzi added so more details.

"Everyone said at first it would have been enough to simply find a monk to perform a ritual, but the Song family was worried that hiring a monk would reveal the murder, so they sought help from so reputable schools with not-so-good reputations, hoping they would outright disperse Dalian’s lingering spirit."

"Uh, what happened after that, I’m not too sure. After all, it’s just gossip, and I’ve only heard about it, so you guys shouldn’t believe it too much."

Bai Yi was fuming, easily roused by such matters, and she began furiously cursing the Song family as worse than beasts.

Completely forgetting her own glorious achievent of gobbling down a pig’s head at their table just two hours before.

Regardless, this Song family definitely hadn’t told the whole truth.

Telling Yingzi and Xiao Yu to head back first, Jiang Xiao planned to make another visit to the Song family with Gangdan.

Yingzi was fine, she had a ho.

Xiao Yu: ...

"Why don’t you just go soak yourself in water for now?"

Gangdan’s words were not very polite, but his manner was earnest.

...

After a series of events, when they returned to the Song family it was already approaching dawn, and Jiang Xiao hadn’t slept all night for this affair.

Unexpected, yet reasonable.

Jiang Xiao hadn’t even reached the front gate of the Song residence when a sharp-eyed gatekeeper saw him and hurriedly rushed inside to report.

Soon enough, the sa group from before appeared in front of Jiang Xiao again.

The Song family patriarch looked exceedingly nervous and took a while to gather his courage before he cautiously asked,

"Where is Immortal Ni He?"

Ni He?

"Do you an that utterly despicable robed Old Bideng? You really are no good, tell , how many reinforcents have you set up to ambush us? Co out now, today I, my master, will wipe you out!"

"Ah? That villain is dead?"

Upon hearing this news, the Song family reacted with mixed emotions, clapping their hands in joy saying ’served him right,’ while also lanting, ’but what to do about a dead man?’

Jiang Xiao was baffled by the family head’s reaction.

So they weren’t in league with the robed old man?

Sighing, the Song family patriarch looked around cautiously, as if afraid of being overheard.

"My lord, Ni He was an evil man, and you did well to kill him, but the force behind him is not sothing you and I can afford to offend. Maybe you should take your friends and this little girl and run away. We of the Song family—born in Liu Town, are willing to die in Liu Town."

Having said this, it seed the Song family patriarch had relieved his burden, appearing much more relaxed.

The rest of the Song family also breathed a sigh of relief, with so of the more hot-blooded youths even declaring it wasn’t such a big deal, it was just death!

Of course, so cast shifty glances, clearly not willing to share the Song family’s fate.

"Uncle, don’t worry, my friend cos from the renowned Feiyun Taoist Sect in the Central Plains; he will naturally help you resolve any issues."

Feiyun Taoist Sect?

Hearing Jiang Xiao boosting his own bravado, Gangdan cooperatively straightened his Taoist robe and took a deliberate step forward.

"Infinite Venerable, I am indeed the current Saint Heir from the Feiyun Taoist Sect!"
